🎬Movie: Marty Supreme - Food & Drinks after the movie 🍿!
🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not)
Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you.
We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc.
The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer!
🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [[Click here to watch trailer!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI6-qKhzTt8)]
📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** Marty Mauser (starring Timothée Chalamet), a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. A hustler-turned-champion ping pong player Marty's journey from playing for bets in Manhattan to winning 22 major titles and becoming the oldest to win a national racket sport competition at 67.

**Tickets here:** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/richmond-hillmarkham-speed-dating-and-comedy-show-age-40-50-tickets-1976539552007?aff=oddtdtcreator
Join us for a night of speed dating and socializing, and who knows, you could meet that special someone!
Need a date? How about 15 of them?
Join us for a fun and social evening of speed dating! Other speed dating events may get you 6-7 dates, but at 15 First Dates you'll be meeting up to 20 people!
Not only that, you can stay for the professional comedy show after speed dating ends, and hang out with all the new people you just met. Saturday night shows are always great, so don't miss out!
How speed dating works is that you will meet members of the opposite sex for quick 4 minute dates, and then you will give them a yes or a no. They will then do the same thing for you. If there is a mutual match, contact information will be exchanged the next day.
We will give you all needed materials, and explain the process to you once everyone has arrived. You don't need to bring anything, just come dressed for success!
**This event is for people aged 40-50.** Get your tickets now while you can!

New Years Eve Bowling Bash w/ Central Ohio Friends!
If you’ve never been out with us, or it’s been a while… this is the event to jump in. Most people come solo and leave with new friends.
Bowling on New Year’s Eve is **nearly impossible to book** — and we locked down 8 lanes. That alone makes this a rare one.
we are definitely not a pro bowlers (**I’m actually pretty bad** 😅), but bowling is way better when pizza and beer are involved 🍕🍺
This event is posted on meetup with Central Ohio Friends
**Please RSVP with ONE group only**
🎳
• $15 per person
• 2 hours of unlimited bowling
• Up to 6 people per lane
• **Bring $15 exact cash** (helps us move fast)
⏰ THE PLAN
🕢 **7:45 PM** – Show up, grab a drink, and settle in
🕘 **9:00 PM – Bowling starts**
🕚 **11:00 PM** – Head to Level One Bar & Arcade / **The Derby (Worthington)** to **watch the ball drop** and finish the night 🎉
Please **arrive early (around 8:00 PM)** so we can get checked in and start on time.

Solopreneurs Drinking Coffee — First Event
First attempt at this. If it's good, we'll do it again. If it sucks, we tried.
(Event photo is from a recent trip to Flagstaff. Stock photos of fake people drinking coffee are the worst.)
**Why I'm doing this:**
You're the average of the people you spend the most time with. Running a business solo means I've been spending most of my time with myself. And AI tools, which are great for thinking through business problems, but terrible for actual human connection.
I want to raise that average. Looking for people who want real conversations. Not networking, not pitches, just the kind of talk that makes you think differently about what you're building and why.
If we all end up making a few friends along the way, even better.
**What to expect:**
Coffee. Conversation. No pitches, no elevator speeches, no going around the table introducing ourselves like it's a corporate icebreaker.
Just show up and talk like a normal human.
**Ground rules:**
* No pitching your business
* No recruiting
* No MLM talk
* No hustle porn
**RSVP cap:** 6 people max so it doesn't turn into a crowd.
**Location:** Transcend Coffee & Roastery in Grove City
**Time:** Friday, January 16th at 11 AM.
See you there!

Pickleball.
